EA Sports FC 26 Preorder: What Exclusive Content Is Included and What’s It For?

EA Sports FC 26, releasing on September 26, 2025, offers a wave of exclusive content for anyone who preorders. From early access and Ultimate Team bonuses to advantages in Career and Clubs modes and unique rewards on FC 25, it’s best to know what you’re getting before committing.

Two editions will be available at launch on all platforms: Standard (€79.99) and Ultimate (€109.99). The Ultimate Edition not only lets you play 7 days early (starting September 19) but also unlocks much more extensive content, especially for Ultimate Team. Note, however, that several of these bonuses are not compatible with the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 versions.

Here’s what you get depending on your edition:

• Early Access (September 19)

• Untradeable 93+ Icon Player in FC 25 (excluding Switch)

• 3 Historic Icons in Career Mode for FC 26

• 5-Star Coach and Scout from Season 1

• Bonus Live Manager Challenges for more variety

• 1 Archetype Consumable (Standard)

• 260,000 Club Points + Double XP for 10 Matches (Standard)

• Personality Points for Your Pro in Clubs

• 6,000 FC Points spread over 2 months (Ultimate)

• 1 Untradeable FUT Icon at Launch (Ultimate)

• Premium Season 1 Pass for Unlockable Content (Ultimate)

• Exclusive Evolution in Ultimate Team (Ultimate)

• FC 25 Bonus: Player Upgrade + Choice of 1 Icon out of 5 (Ultimate only)

Preorders must be placed before August 26 to get all these bonuses. All content is tied to your EA account and requires an online connection.

In short, if you want a serious head start in Ultimate Team or to optimize your Career mode progress, the Ultimate Edition offers real added value, especially for active or competitive players.
